Solely using winexit.scr on Windows XP SP3

Hi,

I've been able to set the default user (template user that is used to
create new users) and new users to be able to use winexit.scr after
making the necessary changes in the registry. However, I'd like to
remove all the other default screen savers.

Basically I would like to have winexit.scr to be the sole screensaver
available to use and users are unable to change it.

This is for a community use corporate computer. Everyone will log in
using their AD account, however I do not want to make changes to the AD
as this setting is only for this computer (placed in a general area for
everyone to use, so it must log out automatically after 10 min of
inactivity as opposed to their own work stations may be logged in for as
long as they wish).

Also, a side problem is that I am unable to get the desktop image to set
properly. It shows that it wants to use the corporate wallpaper that
I've put in a c:\temp directory. However, you need to go into the
desktop properties and click OK before it recognizes you want to use the
wallpaper.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Stan,

Everything can be done through Group Policy

1) Delete all the scr files out of the Windows directory
2) (START | RUN | GPEDIT.MSC)

3) USER CONFIGURATION | ADMINISTRATIVE TEMPLATES | CONTROL PANEL | DESKTOP |
DESKTOP) - Desktop Wallpaper in the right pane (copy the file into
C:\Windows\Web\Walpaper folder)

Just to point out one thing, the OP didn't specify which flavor of WinXP
they use. If they are using WinXP Pro that's fine, but WinXP Home won't
have the group policy editor.
